Ansoft, Synopsys get 'in-Sync'. (Around The World / Design).PITTSBURGH -- Ansoft Corp. (ansoft.com) has joined Synopsys' in-Sync program, a move that will shore up interoperability between Synopsys' lines of chip packaging and circuit simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. and Ansoft's PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. analysis tools. "Design-tool interoperability is critical for the design of complex ICs, PCBs, IC packages and high-speed components,' said Karen Bartleson, director of quality and interoperability at Synopsys, in a press statement. The agreement covers Synopsys' Encore and HSpice tools and Ansoft's HFSS HFSS High Frequency Structure Simulator HFSS High Fat, Salt and Sugar (food content) HFSS High-Frequency Sounder System HFSS High Frequency Simulator System HFSS High Frequency Sensor Subsystem , SIwave, Spicelink and Turbo Package Analyzer, the companies said. Encore users will be able to export designs into Ansoft's tools and output files to HSpice. In-Sync is a joint program between Synopsys and various EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. vendors to identify and implement joint flows, Bartleson said. |
